Jacine Greenwood
Jacine Greenwood is a true inspiration to all those who aspire to turn adversity into opportunity. Despite undergoing five spinal surgeries with fusion, Jacine refused to let her debilitating pain and physical limitations define her. Instead, she embraced the power of neuroplasticity, the science of rewiring the brain, to build a multimillion-dollar business empire in three countries.
Jacine’s journey began with her diagnosis of degenerative disc disease, a condition that causes the discs to degenerate and compress the nerves, leading to chronic pain and weakness in the limbs. Using a combination of physical therapy, meditation, and visualization techniques, Jacine retrained her brain to focus on positive outcomes, rather than the chronic pain she faced.
Today, Jacine is a true inspiration to others who are struggling with chronic pain or physical limitations. She is a living example of the power of neuroplasticity to transform lives, and she is committed to sharing her knowledge and experience with others. Through her motivational speeches, Jacine empowers people to overcome challenges and build successful businesses, regardless of obstacles.
Jacine’s story is a testament to the human spirit’s power and the human brain’s resilience. She reminds us that we are all capable of achieving greatness, no matter our challenges.
“The brain is designed to be trained and rewired; most people don’t know how to train it. There is absolutely nothing that cannot be overcome with consistent repetition of thought patterns and action.”
Marcia O’Connor
Marcia O’Connor’s story is one that embodies the power of hope, perseverance, and grit, universal values that resonate with people around the world. Marcia, a non-traditional entrepreneur, defied the odds by starting her successful company at the age of 39.
What inspired her to take this leap? It was a simple question from her son, who longed to spend more time with her. This turning point led her to found The O’Connor Group just six months later. Her determination and bravery are a testament to the fact that anything is possible with perseverance.
Marcia’s journey is all the more impressive given her humble beginnings and first-hand experience with cancer, addiction, and adversity. However, she refused to let these challenges define her, using them as motivation to become the person she wanted to be. As a creator and builder, Marcia recently founded the non-profit ShadowHer.org, which helps entrepreneurs of all genders realize their potential and build profitable businesses.
Marcia’s passion is to inspire others to see that they too can achieve greatness. Her story shows that anyone can overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams with hope, perseverance, and grit.

Marisa Padilla
Marisa Padilla is a thought leader, philanthropist and known as “The manifest queen.” Marisa is here to share and speak with you why this time in your life has never been better to start believing, loving, and living the life of your dreams.
To see all your hearts desires come to fruition. To live, truly live you must know that means to be resilient. We must be resilient in the pursuit of our desires… our deepest desires. True joy is not found in the feeling of being “happy”. What is happy? Happy is a feeling that comes and goes. Joy is a way of life.
Marisa says nothing worth anything comes easy. Truth… the truth is the only thing that will set you free. You must be truthful with yourself. Life will never be easy and living your life settling is not being truthful with yourself. Truly… no one is happy “settling”. Settling is safe and complacent is empty… unfulfilling. “Getting by and making up our minds that is the life we have so we might as well go along with it….?!?!? That is no life for anyone. You must take the risk…. We were made to build…. To create… To be resilient so that we can leave a legacy.
Right now, in this moment you are helping human beings who must be resilient every single day of their lives. All of us… every single one of us know what it is to suffer, and Marisa says that no one’s pain is greater than someone else’s. We all experience pain, and we all feel what it is to lose, to hurt, to feel alone, to feel inadequate, to feel isolated as if no one could possibly understand what we are going through and that is where our connection is formed.
From the “truth” the real raw truth. We are connected through our pain. testimony makes every hardship every single hardship worth it. Resilience is bravery. Be brave and keep on your pursuit! We don’t just go through the pain we have to learn how to grow through the pain. The above picture is from Marisa’s key note at Think Resilience in Ireland.
